Kindness can pick you up

A way we can be kind to ourselves is to get up in the morning, brush our teeth, take 20 minutes to sit, clean our cell. As you are cleaning your cell, let everything go. Be one with the rag, the towel, whatever you clean with. Take in the smell and as you are doing this you might be outside your cell. Come back to a deep, calm breath and clean. After you are done cleaning your cell, look around, take a breath and sit down and just look how good you feel. Wow. The kindness you can show yourself can pick you up.
